Intense portrait photographer Romona Zaordini has worked for years mastering the art of photographing the nude body with bold, complex compositions and unorthodox coloring. Those earlier works often feature single participants manipulated by Zaordini, so her latest series, Changing Time III, brought the new challenge of working with multiple subjects simultaneously. The Italian artist was interested in showcasing couples interacting with one another in moments of intimacy, revealing both sexual energy and the conceptual texture often seen in paintings.

The naked couples slowly moved through various positions, their bodies causing the water to ripple around them. One pair kissing passionately just beneath the water's surface. A shot of another woman is captured in the fleeting, sensual moment of anticipating her partner joining her in the shallow water. The murky water creates an intriguing background for the subtle reveals of breasts, hips, backs, and tender touches.
